When we ride along the high- |
ways we see so many big trucks.‘
They go from city to city and
houl all kinds of things. They‘
haul food, clothes, gasoline, toys,
milk and many things. Sometimes
a truck moves a house to a new
place.
Last week “My Weekly Reader,”
told us many interesting things
about big and little trucks.
We are beginning to sing Christ
mas songs. We will make a little
booklet of songs and poems we
learn.
The girls in our class -have
joined a Brownie Club. They will
have many nice times with Mrs.

Thanksgiving has come and!
passed and wasn’t the weather |
beautifull Where ever you were
we hope you enjoyed the day.
Christmas is not far off, so now
we are busy learning songs and
mking decorations for our room.
We saw several real good movies
jast week. Two were on safety.
One was called “Bicycle Safety.”
{We saw bicycle rules to follow
just as drivers of cars follow, and
how to ride and take care of a bi
evele. Many of us said we had
learned a lot from seeing that pic
ture.
The other safety picture was on
fire prevention. We saw a boy
and his father check through their
house to find out how many haz
ards they could find which were
really dangerous.
The most enjoyable picture of
all was the one called “Chimp, the
Sailor.” It was about a chimpan
zee on a sail boat.
There are so many interesting
things happening that we will
have to wait and tell you some of
them next week. |
- Miss Hancock’s Class
We had a movie on fire preven
tion. In this movie the children
checked on their homes to see if
there were any fire hazards. Since
one of the goals of our school is to
make this a safe Christmas we
decided that we would check our
homes carefully. Each of us car
ried home a check list. We got
our mother or father to help us
check the list. The next day we
reported to the class on what we
found.
Every member of our class is
learning Bible verses. Donna Tate
is working for a Bible. gJimmy
Seymour, Jimmy Hansford, Ruck

Council Held
Business Meefi
College Avenue School Council
All of the room: representatives
were present at the Big Council
meeting on Tuesday morning. We
were glad to learn that all the‘
classes are having regular meet
ings in their rooms. .
Several things were discussed as
old business. We decided that we
should not bring candy and gum
to school. President Scoggins sug
gested that each class put this
year's slogan somewhere in the
room.
When new business was dis
cussed the members had some
good ideas. We voted to take
“Honesty” as a topic to talk about
in each room. Later we will have
someone from outside our school
to come to talk to us on honesty.
Miss Williamson’s class officers
had something interesting to re
port to the council. Their class
read in the Weekly Reader about
Oscar’'s Good American Club.
They joined the club and received
a certificate of honor, We enjoyed

“about the club and they showed

making a train of our own. We
have learned how the train hauls
'many things from place to place.

good stories. That is why we
want to write the very best stor

three paragraphs in order, be sure
to indent, use adjectives, spell
correctly and have good penman
ship. We painted pictures about
our stories with crayon.

This is the key to many things.
It’s the key to a Buick, as you may well
guess.
It’s the key to power that is nimble and
mighty and always alert —and to
miles that are wondrously smooth and
supremely pleasant.
It's the key to a prized possession that
will keep this Christmas joyous in
memory for months and even years.
. And it’s the key to sparkling eyes and
happy smiles and delighted surprise
for that very special Someone who
receives it.
Want to know why a Buick’s key can
work such wonders? Come in and find
out firsthand.
This, we promise you, is one bit of
Christmas shopping that you're going
to enjoy.

Our Thanksgiving holidays were
lots of fun. Some of us visited
relatives and friends in the coun
try. We came back to school
Monday morning with many in
teresting experiences to share with
one another. Betty Jo Hopkins
brought a huge hornet’s nest to
class. We enjoyed seeing it and
learning how it was made.
We are having fun in all our
school work. In social studies we
are learning many interesting facts
about the Roman Republic and
how it came to be formed. The
Romans were great respecters of
the law, We are reading about
their education, food, and clothing,
This week we have been reading
several Roman legends in our
readers. We particularly enjoyed
the story of Romulus and Remus
and the founding of Rome.
Soil conservation is the subject
of our science lessons for the pre
sent. We have found out how
terracing, strip cropping, and con
tour plowing prevent soil erosion.
